Joao Webber Eliminated in 12th Place (€85,100)

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Anton Suarez raised to 200,000 in the hijack before Joao Webber three-bet to 600,000 on the button. Thomas Eychenne then four-bet to 1,600,000 in the small blind.

Suarez quickly folded, but Webber asked how much Eychenne had behind, eliciting only a shrug from his opponent, before he announced all in. Eychenne snap-called.

Joao Webber: A♦A♥ All in
Thomas Eychenne: Q♦Q♥

Eychenne found out the bad news when Webber turned over his aces. Webber was poised to take the massive pot, but the flop brought Q♣10♥2♣ to give Eychenne top set.

Webber hung his head in disappointment as the J♣ turn gave him some hope with a straight draw, but Eychenne improved to a full house on the 2♦ river to secure the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Eychenne had Webber's 4,090,000 covered, sending the Brazilian to the rail in 12th place and bringing an end to Day 5.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tobias Leknes raised to 160,000 from the hijack before Anton Suarez three-bet to 500,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Leknes, he chose to four-bet rip it for 4,735,000. Suarez got an exact count from the dealer, then made the call to put Leknes at risk.

Tobias Leknes: A♥4♥ All in
Anton Suarez: A♠K♦

Leknes had made a move with a suited ace, but had run into the big slick of Suarez.

The flop came down A♦9♠7♣ to give both players top pair, with Leknes needing a four. The K♣ turn left Leknes drawing dead to Suarez's two pair, as the 4♠ completed the board.

Leknes was out in 13th place and Suarez moved up to over 16,000,000.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Marc Foggin opened to 135,000 in the hijack and Julian Pineda Lozano called in the small blind before Lauri Saaskilahti three-bet to 1,000,000 in the big blind. Foggin four-bet jammed and Lozano folded before Saaskilahti called for the rest of his stack.

Lauri Saaskilahti: A♠5♠ All in
Marc Foggin: A♣K♥

Saaskilahti was dominated and couldn't pull ahead as the board ran out 6♥A♥8♦8♥3♠ to mark his elimination in 14th place.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hugo Gotuzzo open-jammed a stack of around 900,000 in middle position and Julian Pineda Lozano re-shoved a bigger stack in the small blind to get things heads-up.

Hugo Gotuzzo: Q♥Q♦ All in
Julian Pineda Lozano: 7♥7♠

Lozano was the first one who showed and Gotuzzo skipped a beat and let out a sigh before turning over queens to reveal he was far ahead. But it was short-lived as the flop landed 9♦10♠8♣ to give both players straight draws and the 6♦ turn gave Lozano the straight before the blank 6♠ river confirmed Gotuzzo's elimination in 15th place.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tomasz Brzezinski raised to 120,000 from the hijack before Alexandros Michas three-bet to 350,000 from the button. When it folded back to Brzezinski, he four-bet jammed, covering Michas. Michas called for his stack of 2,135,000 total and the cards were flipped over.

Alexandros Michas: J♦J♣ All in
Tomasz Brzezinski: A♥Q♣

It was a huge flip for both players, as Michas needed to win it to remain in the tournament, and Brzezinski had to win it or he would be left with under ten big blinds.

Brzezinski took a commanding lead on the 7♦7♠Q♦ flop by improving to a pair of queens. The K♥ turn meant Michas needed one of the two remaining jacks on the river to survive. An A♦ completed the board, and Michas was out in 16th place.

David Salituro

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alejandro Romero raised to 100,000 under the gun before Anton Suarez three-bet to 275,000 in the cutoff. Romero then four-bet to 650,000 and Suarez called.

The flop came 5♦2♥2♣ and Romero bet 350,000. Suarez then raised to 700,000, Romero moved all in for 1,355,000, and Suarez called.

Alejandro Romero: A♣K♠ All in
Anton Suarez: J♥J♣

Suarez was ahead with his two pair, and the Q♣ turn and 9♣ river were no help to Romero who was eliminated.

At the same time at the other outer table, Sebastian Ionita had opened to 100,000 in the hijack and Martin Nielsen shoved for 840,000 in the cutoff. The table folded back to Ionita who called to put Nielsen at risk.

Martin Nielsen: A♠J♥ All in
Sebastian Ionita: 8♠8♣

"Jack of justice," Nielsen called out heading to the flop, which came 2♠10♦10♥. The 9♣ turn kept Ionita in the lead, while the river was the 5♣ to seal Nielsen's bustout.

Romero and Nielsen split 18th and 17th place, each taking €57,025.

Hiroki Karatsu: 6♠6♦ All in
Joao Webber: A♠A♥

Karatsu needed to find a six to stay alive, but none were in sight on the 3♥K♠9♥7♠10♠ runout, which meant he was out in 19th.

Connor Richards

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese opened to 100,000 in the hijack and Cesar Garcia three-bet to 275,000 in the cutoff. Worthington-Leese four-bet jammed for around 2,000,000 and Garcia called with more.

Leo Worthington-Leese: 10♠10♦ All in
Cesar Garcia: K♠K♦

The flop landed K♥2♥6♦ to give Garcia a set and Worthington-Leese was out of his seat before the runout of 7♣8♠ confirmed his elimination in 20th place.

Garcia got a little greedy and began moving Worthington-Leese's stack in front of him before he was told to let the dealer do it.

Kai Cocklin

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Joao Webber opened the hijack to 100,000 and Jimmy Kebe shoved for 930,000 from the cutoff. Once the action got back to Webber, he confirmed the count and then flicked in the call.

Jimmy Kebe: A♦Q♣ All in
Joao Webber: 8♥8♣

Kebe needed to win the flip to stay alive, but an 8♠ in the window wasn't good news, especially when it was followed by 10♥2♦. Only running cards could save Kebe, but the 2♠ turn left him drawing dead as Webber made a full house.

A Q♠ did fall on the river just to rub a little salt in the wound of Kebe, then he made his way to the exit in 21st.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kevin Houghton made it 125,000 under the gun before Sergio Carro Marin three-bet to 300,000 out of the hijack. Once it folded back to Houghton, he called to see a flop.

The dealer produced a monotone flop of J♦2♦4♦, which Houghton checked. Marin checked behind and the 9♠ rolled off on the turn. Houghton led out for 250,000 and Marin called.

The 9♣ completed the board and after using a time bank card, Houghton jammed for 545,000. Marin snap-called and was shown A♠J♥ by Houghton for a pair of jacks. Marin had that beat with A♦9♦ for the flopped nut flush, and Houghton was out in 22nd place.
